Opinion: How to pay for 30th Street Station repairs

Sen. Casey is asking Amtrak to speed up its plan to fix up 30th Street Station in Philadelphia before Pope Francis and the Democratic National Convention arrive. He also states there doesn't appear to be additional federal funds available for the work.

We all know that the repairs will be pushed onto the public with increased fares. Why not do what companies do when building a new warehouse or factory? They have to pay for road improvements, etc. Why not have the Democrats have their political action committee members and lobbyists pay for the repairs.
